台灣教育當局指出：法律沒有規定課綱每10年須大改一次，「沒有118課綱。」目前仍以108課綱為基礎，AI、資訊教育需要與時俱進則是學界共識。蔡昆凌博士曾在國教教育研究院一個月的研究，發現國教院似乎是為改革而改革，講師跟改革課程者似乎有進步空間。從108課綱至今，當初的課程人才培育圖像似乎沒有改變，包括重視自主學習、互動、社會參與，以及閱讀教育…等。
這些讓家長與國人擔心的問題，蔡博士認為：現階段最主要要讓家長與學生跟老師安心在紮根學習與教學工作，不要配合地方首長作秀而起舞；因此，不要再改課綱，增加科技變遷如AI的資訊知能更新，持續給年輕學子更好的學習指導。端看108課綱的特色課程，可以運用AI等知能，透過影像記錄及街訪，留下與樂齡長者共學、與家鄉環境的深度互動畫面是很有意義的。
蔡昆凌博士更建議：教育政策的執行應與時俱進並兼顧質與量，期盼新政府務實面對技職弱化、資源分配不均之教育問題。
此外，台灣當局之前訴求廣設高中、大學，是希望讓孩子擺脫為升學而學的升學壓力，但檢視30年後的升學壓力卻更大；加上未兼顧技職的均衡發展，造成技職體系弱化，技職生人才斷層，因為教育不該一元，如果從產業考量；讓學生和家長意識到或感覺到多元發展如技職教育未來是有發展的，所以推動多項重大政策，強化技職教育環境，包括優化技職校院實作環境計畫、新南向技職人才計畫、技專校院高等教育深耕計畫、建置區域產業人才及技術培育基地計畫才是真正的解決方案。
Is Taiwan’s education reform suitable for the needs of students and industrial development?
Taiwan’s education authorities pointed out that the law does not require that the curriculum must be revised every 10 years. “There is no 118 curriculum.” Currently, it is still based on the 108 curriculum. It is the consensus of the academic community that AI and information education need to keep pace with the times. Dr. Tsai conducted a month’s research at the Institute of Chinese Education and found that the Institute seemed to be reforming for the sake of reform, and there seemed to be room for improvement among lecturers and curriculum reformers. From the 108 curriculum to the present, the original talent cultivation image of the curriculum seems to have not changed, including emphasis on independent learning, interaction, social participation, and reading education…etc.
These are the issues that worry parents and Chinese people. Dr. Tsai believes that at this stage, the most important thing is to let parents, students and teachers feel at ease to take root in learning and teaching work, and not to dance with the show of local leaders; therefore, do not change the curriculum and add technology. Changes such as AI’s updated information and knowledge continue to provide young students with better learning guidance. Looking at the special courses of Tuankan 108 curriculum, it is very meaningful to use AI and other intelligence to record in-depth interactions with the elderly and their hometown environment through video recording and street interviews.
Dr. Tsai also suggested that the implementation of education policies should keep pace with the times and take into account both quality and quantity. He hopes that the new government will pragmatically face the education problems of weakening technical vocational skills and uneven resource distribution.
In addition, the Taiwan authorities have previously called for the establishment of high schools and universities in the hope of freeing children from the pressure of studying for higher education.
